Bioactivity | Bofutrelvir (FB2001) is a SARS-CoV-2 main protease Mpro inhibitor with an IC50 value of 53 nM and an EC50 value of 0.53 μM. Bofutrelvir exhibits potent antiviral efficacy against several current SARS-CoV-2 variants with EC50 values of 0.26-0.42 μM. Bofutrelvir has an additive antiviral effect when combined with Remdesivir (HY-104077)[1][2]. |
Target | IC50: 53 nM (Mpro) |
Invitro | Bofutrelvir (24 h) shows in vitro activity against SARS-CoV-2 and its variants with EC50 values of 0.42, 0.39, 0.28, 0.27 and 0.26 μM for SARS-CoV-2, SARS-CoV-2 (Alpha), SARS-CoV-2 (Beta), SARS-CoV-2 (Delta) and SARS-CoV-2 (Omicron), respectively[2].Bofutrelvir inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication in vero E6 cells in the presence of human serum (1.1-2.4 μM) even at the dose of EC50 values[2].Bofutrelvir exhibits an additive effect against SARS-CoV-2 in vitro when combined treatment with remdesivi[2]. |
In Vivo | Bofutrelvir (100 and 200 mg/kg; i.p. once daily on day 0 and twice daily on day 1, 2 and 3 for 4 consecutive days) effectively against SARS-CoV-2 delta variant infection in vivo[2]. Animal Model: |
